A misshapen cast lead cap for a powder measure dating from the post-medieval period, c. 17th century. The cap is complete but squashed and misshapen possibly due to damage within the plough soil. Originally, the open end would have been circular or perhaps oval in plan. The sides tapered to the oval base. The integral loops for attachment at the base of the object are still intact. There are two fairly faint casting seams on the sides. The object has a light\/mid- grey patina.<\/p>
The powder cap is a common find from Civil War sites. The cap was used for measuring a charge of gunpowder. They formed the cap to the powder flask which contained enough gunpowder for a single round. The caps were suspended from a bandolier by cord, and the flask was then pulled away from the cap when it was needed. The powder flasks are sometimes refered to as apostles - possibly suggesting they were issued as a dozen (12). The cap probably dates to the mid 17th century (Courtney: 1988)<\/p>
